i did not say, “insanity defense”, nor did i imply it.

i find your replying to me as if i did, quite vexing.

on my first impression, these are the actions of someone who is unable to control themself, and as such, should be treated as a mental health case instead of a normal violent offender. there’s more to the story, of course.

i also think mental hospitals and prisons should be drastically reformed…

Sorry, I was assuming by “criminally insane” you meant “not guilty by reason of criminal insanity” aka the insanity defense.

I agree that he probably needs mental health treatment regardless of whether or not he has any additional punishment.

i used criminally insane because not all mentally ill people need to be locked up away from society…
obviously, uncontrolled rage means you should be locked up for a bit…
